17 Another Ally

"We're here, my master."

"Ohhh welcome."

Somebody is sitting on the sofa. He's a guy that has crystalline horns red-brown hair he has a bit of beard. He's wearing a white suit and he's drinking a glass of wine. Which gives him an aura of a boss.

"A Crystal dragon?"

"Oh... Well done. How'd you know my species?"

"Just had knowledge."

"My species are so rare that we are not well known. We're almost only known in this world. Tell me? To what extent did you study? Where'd you know about my kind?"

"And what if I told you that it's a secret?"

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Of course it's a bluff. That knowledge is from his memory as a god. But his knowledge as a god is so vast that he can't take all that knowledge with him. So the only knowledge that he carried with him is the name of races and their species and also every single world. It's truly fortunate that he had a photographic memory. If not, he may lose all that knowledge.

"Very well. Let me welcome you. Kojima Satoshi."

"How'd you know my name?"

"Through intelligence gathering."

"So... May I know why I'm asked to come to a different world?"

"It's because you killed a friend?"

"You mean Earl?"

"You're sharp."

"It's because he's the only person I killed up until now. I don't actually want to kill him. But I needed to."

Leo stood up and walked around.

"I'm kind of upset with his death. But. Thanks to his death. Despite he's a friend of mine. I finally know that you are false. A false chosen. He's right. You're just an abnormality."

"Do you wanna pick a fight with me?"

"Of course not. Will I fight an S-ranked person?"

"But there's still a huge chance right?"

"Yes there is a huge chance. But I don't intend to fight. The chance maybe because of our difference with race. But if I am a magician too. I may not hold too long. Not even a minute. After all, I didn't call you here to get revenge for killing a friend of mine."

"Then why is it? Why'd you had to call me? Can't you just travel to my world?"

"That would be impossible."

"What?"

"There are people who wanted to kill me out there. They can't enter this vicinity but they may use ranged attacks on me. I just wanted to talk with you."

"About what? You want me to kill them? There are other dragons here. Why not them?"

"No. It's not that. I wanted to actually thank you."

"Huh?"

"Thank you. For freeing Earl. Though I didn't know that he became like that until you fought him. And that's when I saw him for the last time."

"That castle has strong anti divination spells stacked together. How'd you find a way to see what's going on inside?"

"it's because I didn't use a divination spell. I used real eyes to see everything."

"Real eyes?..... So you mean you used a creature to see?"

"Exactly! You're intelligent. I liked you now."

"No, that's disgusting."

"No, no I didn't mean that. I already had a wife after all. But I guess that's not our topic right? May we continue?"

"Just go ahead."

"Well. Yeah, I controlled a creature to see and hear things that happened there. Though it's not until Earl used his strongest spell to kill everything in a certain vicinity."

"So you didn't say how I killed him?"

"Yes. But I didn't call you here for a stupid reason as I wanted to know how you killed him. He's a strong and good friend. Will you mind me telling you our story?"

"No. Go ahead."

He finally stopped walking around and sat down.

"Well. May you sit down too?"

As he indicated another luxurious chair.

"Very well."

"Well. I assured that you're knowledgable about the dragons and magicians' alliance 20 years ago?"

"Yes. Though I'm not yet born at that time."

"Let me tell you our story at that time. I met him at a meeting. I'm one of the strategists. We met at that time and I'm fascinated about chosens so I tried to talk to him. We became friends. And at that time. Our worlds are simultaneously attacked. Leaving us separated to defend our worlds. It's sad that I'm not one of the dragons sent out to their world. Our world had an easy battle. But it is a tragedy at your world's side. They easily got overwhelmed. On lots and lots of corpses of demons, humans, and dragons. There is no corpse of him. We found out he used that spell he used on you to kill every demon at that time. People left him and retreated. But they didn't mean to leave him behind. It's just that they can't fight anymore so they had to leave him to protect their rear. We then assumed that he's dead. So I focused on gathering information about the new chosen. And that's when I know you. As every chosen is the reincarnation of the last one. I hoped that you will remember me through your past life. But then when you reached that age. You've met Earl. And that's when I finally found him and used creatures to link to myself and look for him. And that's when I got into your battle and known that you're not the real chosen."

"Well, that's kind of long. So. If I'm not the real chosen. So what?"

"It's just like this. I wanted you to be an ally of mine."

"For what? Earl is dead. And it seems you've surpassed him for what I want on a person. Though you're not the real chosen. I'm interested in you now. So. Will you be a subordinate?"

"Why would you need a subordinate?"

"I liked collecting an ally like you."

"More like a hobby?"

"Maybe."

"And if I say no?"

"We will use everything of our power to kill you here."

"Very well. I agreed."

"There we go. An easy to talk person. Well. Let's drink."

They both laughed and drink. Until.
